guys how to unlock hard and insane mode?

April 2024

C'mon Mech time. Difficulty is, you got to want it, prepare to die, you can do it. Memory, strategy and timing will get you you through, even though the slide/dash only works some of the time for me so I just don't use it and still can complete. Time to complete is less than 20 minutes, actual time after memorising enemy moves and acquiring strategy could be hours all in all. Overall I really do like this game, good job! Thank you

A very fun game. People nag about the time mechanic, but it is essential in making you learn the game to the fullest, otherwise people would be playing it sluggishly. Good controls, a little bit unwieldy (gets the mech movement across), aiming feels idiotic at first, but if it would be on the second stick the so much of the game's design would fall flat, well balanced difficulty with varied stages requiring slight changes in conquering them. The only downside is that when pushed to the limits certain boss encounters are more of an endurance test. They could have made the health bars lower for the no special weapons runs to feel less tedious.

Game is short with alot of flair. Nice effects with simple game play. There is a entire series of games the devs made that are related. I like this game for its simplicity and great work involved. Its cheap, check it out.

Very good game, my favorite of the series. Best with a controller, the controls take some getting used to but i quite like them, and the enemies are balanced around that. very nice game and its worth it.
